On March 6, Beijing time, the regular season has come to this point, for teams that want to rush to the championship and impact the playoffs, the next schedule is crucial, to put it bluntly, it is to improve the team's ranking, but often things develop to this point, although there will be some surprises to the team, but there are also some teams that will disappoint fans. Just like the Bucks, since the formation of the dual-core lineup of Lillard and Brother Alphabet, they have been in a state of running-in, which has led to the team's failure to improve in the rankings, but now, the chemistry between the two is getting better and better, and finally hit a six-game winning streak and secured the top two positions in the East, and more importantly, after the All-Star break, the Bucks have not lost a game. The Mavericks, led by the Eastern European pair, have a record of 5 losses and 2 wins in the last seven games, and now they have slipped to the top eight positions in the West, that is, the play-off area. Five years 21.5 billion, joined the Mavericks, Doncic, who only wanted to win the championship, but he never got help.
If the timeline is put to the halfway stage of the season, the Mavericks directly packed players such as Gwee and Holmes, and even sent some first-round picks to recruit the two giants of Gafford and Washington, the purpose is to improve the competitiveness of the interior line, but also to go further in the playoffs, it is undeniable that in the six games before the start of the All-Star break, the Mavericks basically did not lose. But this is based on the fact that new players have just entered the team, and as the All-Star Game comes to an end, the Mavericks have once again lost their competitiveness, especially when they encounter strong opponents head-on, they can't play aggressively at all, and when they encounter weak teams head-on, the Mavericks can't guarantee that they can beat their opponents. In the case of an away game, there is no deterrent at all, even if you sit at home, you can't play your own dominance.
Sometimes, when the data best reflects a team, after the All-Star Game ended, the Mavericks took the lead in challenging the Pacers, and as a result, the Pacers once blasted a huge 22-point advantage during the game, and finally maintained the advantage and won the game. Immediately after facing the Cavaliers, the Mavericks took the lead in building a double-digit advantage, but at the last minute of the game, Strus hit a three-pointer to complete the reversal. The Green Army, which followed, instead let the Mavericks get a big victory, and then encountered Philadelphia, the Mavericks took the lead in blasting out an 11-point advantage, but they completely lost the power to parry in the final quarter, and finally regretted defeat, and when they encountered the Pacers head-on today, the Mavericks came up and let the opponent blast out of a 20-point advantage, and the result was naturally self-evident, and the Mavericks once again ushered in a fiasco.
It is not difficult to find that the ups and downs of the Mavericks during this period are very large, and the original team has been on the right track before the All-Star break, which has also brought some hope to Mavericks fans. But then again, in the Mavericks, there is really no competitiveness of a strong team. Just like when facing strong opponents like the Celtics and Cavaliers head-on, the Mavericks are very difficult to play, and when they encounter weak teams such as the Pacers and Raptors, the Mavericks still can't play a deterrent. It can only be said that the current Maverick still does not have the ability to impact the championship, it seems that the opponent is very competitive, but in fact, such a result will occur entirely because the Maverick has a lot of shortcomings. But in the minds of most fans, the biggest problem for the Mavericks is head coach Kidd, and the problem of hiring coaches has always been controversial.
Obviously, the Mavericks have Lively and Gafford two giants under the basket, but they have not been able to get playing time, while Kleber's playing time has been greatly improved, on the surface, Kleber can create offensive space for his teammates, but after losing the rim and interior confrontation, the team really can't beat the strong team. Maybe the Mavericks are trying to repeat last season's situation, and with four weeks left in the regular season, they just chose to mess up. After all, as far as the current Mavericks are concerned, only Doncic's performance is amazing, and so far this season, he has handed over 346 points, 9 rebounds, 9With 8 assists per game, 49% and 37% shooting from the field, and 54 games this season, the team has only played 62 games in total, which is enough to prove how good Doncic's attendance rate is.
You must know that Doncic is not yet 25 years old and has become the leader of the Mavericks, and in the next time, Doncic can continue to improve his strength, and even in the hearts of many fans, Doncic is James's ** person, to put it bluntly, it is the face of the league. It is undeniable that Doncic's stats are really explosive, whether it is the scoring list and assist list, or the game contribution value, all of them are at the top three level in the league. Of course, Doncic also has some problems of his own, such as the defensive end is unwilling to put in too much energy, and he can't control his emotions well, and there will always be penalties for complaining on the court, and there will be a lot of mistakes when passing. After all, Doncic has averaged 3 turnovers per game this season9 times, which is a little better than Trae Young, and not being able to control the number of turnovers is indeed a big problem.
But having said that, Doncic has really not been easy over the years, obviously his talent and rise speed are very fast, but until now, his good brother Jokic has won the championship, and he is still working hard to enter the playoffs, and every time he enters the playoffs, he basically can't go further, in other words, when Irving didn't enter the team before, Doncic was not able to support himself at all, after all, the league is now reporting to the group to heat up the situation is very serious, relying only on Doncic himself, it is definitely not enough, This is also the reason why Owen was able to enter the Mavericks. And Doncic's last salary contract was five years and 21.5 billion is about to expire, if you can really be selected for the best team, you can definitely get a higher salary, but for Doncic, who wants to win the championship, what he wants more is definitely an excellent helper.
